Failure to Diagnose

      Another very significant area where medical malpractice can occur is the failure to diagnose a medical condition. This situation can have devastating consequences. For example, failing to diagnose cancer may lead to the cancer growing and spreading. It could cause the cancer to become more aggressive. Similarly, failure to order certain tests or procedures may be malpractice if a reasonably competent physician would have done so under similar circumstances.
